18-20.11.2020 1st BIOME Virtual Retreat
The Covid-19 pandemic did not hinder the triple BIOME cores for Cellular and Molecular Immunology/Infectious Diseases/Tumour and Signalling from holding their annual interdisciplinary retreat this year, which, due to lockdown, took place held virtually on three intensive, consecutive mornings. The retreat's programme was adapted to suit the format accordingly: instead of the usual talk and poster sessions, each doctoral member was given a strictly-scheduled, four-minute talk slot in which to present their research's punchline, with a further two minutes for peer discussion thereafter. The sessions were sovereignly hosted by doctoral chairs, with discussion panel members being announced at the beginning of each session. This year's keynote speaker was Toni Cathomen (University of Freiburg) who gave a fascinating overview of the clinical translation of genome editing. Prizes for each day's best doctoral presentation were awarded to Nina Buß, Keven Hörster and Beatrice Thier.

22.07.2020 Two DFG-Funded Collaborative Research Centres Join BIOME
BIOME warmly welcomes the collaborative research centres, CRC 289: Treatment Expectation (Speaker: Ulrike Bingel) and CRC 296: Local Thyroid Hormone Action (Speakers: Dagmar Führer-Sakel and Heike Heuer) as independent research and training structures to our graduate school network. These long-term multidisciplinary scientific programmes are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Patients' expectations about treatment benefits are important modulators of health outcomes. An individual's expectation can substantially shape symptoms and disease progression and influence the efficacy and tolerability of treatments. The ultimate goal of the CRC 289: Treatment Expectation is to generate the knowledge base for the systematic utilisation of patients' expectation in order to optimise therapeutic strategies and thereby improve health outcomes.
Thyroid hormones (TH) are essential for normal tissue homeostasis since they orchestrate many cellular processes. Both TH deficiency and TH excess result in a vast array of clinical manifestations indicating that proper organ functions are compromised. While current treatment strategies aim to normalise circulating TH levels in affected patients, recent discoveries have highlighted the importance of local mechanisms in controlling the organ-specific TH status. Hence, the goals of the CRC 296: Local Thyroid Hormone Action (Locotact) are to dissect how these local control mechanisms are organised, as well as to address whether a local modulation of TH action is beneficial in certain pathologies.

Copper Reef's End of Summer Update
FLIN FLON, MANITOBA - November 5, 2015.........Copper Reef Mining Corporation (CSE: CZC) (the Company) wishes to announce an end of summer field work update on its Pikoo Diamond Project in Saskatchewan.
Till sampling of several high-priority kimberlite target possibilities directly associated with circular aeromagnetic anomalies has been completed on three of the Company's Pikoo diamond project properties C2 and C3 10 km east of the village of Deschambault and B1 near Pelican Narrows, Saskatchewan. Till samples were collected to search for a suite of the unique 'indicator' minerals that are often key elements of diamondiferous kimberlite intrusions. On the C2 and C3 properties till samples were collected along lines (referred to as a fence) perpendicular to the ice direction down ice (to the SE) of a total of 9 anomalies. Prospecting for boulders of magnetic rocks were carried out along this till sample fence and the geology mapped with various lithologies tested for magnetic susceptibility for their relative magnetism. The magnetic anomalies do not outcrop but occur below swamps, thick overburden or lakes. A total of 28 till samples were taken at 100-200 meter intervals along 3 till sample fences. 10 till samples were taken on the C2 property, 12 till samples were taken on the C3 property (4 covering the southern anomaly and 8 covering the northern anomaly) and an additional 6 samples were taken on the B1 property southeast of the Pikoo1-002 anomaly where kimberlite indicators minerals were obtained last year. In general, the properties were found to be covered with thin glacial till and/or in some areas by extensive areas of swampy organic material or lake deposited clay. Some glacial outwash material was observed in the field and rejected for sampling. For the most part good lodgement basal till; very hard stony sandy to silty clay referred commonly as "hard pan" was collected at the sample sites. At a few locations only sandy stony basal till was available. The line of till samples southwest of each anomaly collectively would in theory capture indicator minerals from any possible kimberlite source that might be of interest on the property.
On B1 an additional 6 samples were taken in the area where kimberlite indicator minerals (mainly chrome diopside) were discovered last year just south of a small strong circular anomaly. The overburden cover was thick in the immediate area of this magnetic anomaly before very quickly trailing into swampy muskeg to the south. Detailed prospecting found neither an outcrop source nor boulders that might indicate the nature of the anomaly of B1 .
The Till samples have been sent to Charles Fipke's lab C.F. Minerals Research Ltd. of Kelowna, B.C. where they will undergo various methods of separating out the kimberlite indicators minerals if present. Follow up of any good results would likely result in ground geophysical surveys or a magnetic-electromagnetic survey on C2 and C3 claims and possibly drilling on B1 over the winter.
Pikoo is a new diamondiferous kimberlite district located in east central Saskatchewan, associated with the Archean-aged Saskatchewan Craton. On November 6, 2013, North Arrow announced the discovery of two distinct kimberlite indicator mineral trains in the area and, in follow-up drilling, the PK 150 kimberlite, which returned 745 diamonds larger than 0.106 mm, including 23 diamonds larger than 0.85 mm from a 209.7 kg sample of drill core. To date, seven discrete kimberlite occurrences have been identified. In addition, other publicly-traded companies have recently identified distinct kimberlite indicator mineral trains in the Pikoo area.
Base Metal Targets
While Copper Reef waits for these till samples results on our Pikoo Diamond Exploration claims, we are busy modelling the data from airborne electromagnetic anomalies on the Company's base metal targets. Five target areas from a VTEM airborne survey in the Alberts Lake area 20 km east of Flin Flon are being evaluated geophysically to access their shape, dip, exact location as well as relative conductivity and strength. Volcanogenic polymetallic base metal deposits generally show up geophysically as these type of conductors.. The plan is to drill the most promising of these targets this coming winter. The anomalies lie immediately north of former producing Copper-Zinc- Gold-Silver Mines held by Hudbay Minerals and adjacent to Callinex Minerals claims to the south.
Stephen Masson M.Sc., P.Geo. President of Copper Reef is the Qualified Person under the provisions of National Instrument 43-101 for the Company and has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
Copper Reef is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company with a specific focus on mineral properties in northwest Manitoba and northeast Saskatchewan, Canada. All of the Issuer's properties are currently at the exploration stage. The Issuer has no long-term debt and has assembled a portfolio of base metal and precious metal prospects, including strategic locations in the Provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The Company is now also looking at diversification.


text: 08-04-04 BOT MinMinutes of the School Board meeting WESTLAKE ACADEMY SCHOOL BOARD MINUTES OF THE WORKSHOP August 4, 2004 Present: Scott Bradley, President Buddy Brown, Member Bill Frey, Member Fred Held, Member Don Redding, Member Larry Sparrow, Member Trent Petty, CEO Barbara Brizuela, Head of School Darcy MacFarlane, Assistant to the Head of School Ginger Crosswy, Secretary Troy Meyer, Recreation & Facilities Debbie Piper, Finance Director Carolyn Sims, Director of Marketing & Public Affairs Absent: No one. Item #1: President Bradley called the meeting to order at 9:28 a.m. by announcing a quorum. Item #2: Discuss planning for 2004-05 school year. President Bradley told the assembly this would be an open agenda with everyone free to discuss any item relating to the Academy. He asked Ms. Brizuela to recap the first year of the Academy and list anything considered a success, anything that can be improved on for the coming year and. any enhancements she would like to see regarding curricula and things of that nature. Mr. Brizuela began by stating that the Academy had been established with the intention of being a serious but pleasant place to be and this she feels has been accomplished. She told the Board that since everyone, teachers and students, had been new it had been difficult to build the school into a community but the house system that was put into place had helped. She said one of the problems had been learning the TEA and state laws governing the Academy. Ms. Brizuela told the Board that the cliques in school, especially sixth grade, had been a problem but the lady who will be the counselor this year worked as a part time teacher last year and was familiar with the situation. There was a long discussion regarding the students who are problem students and the discipline techniques used with emphasis put on the authority given the Head of School to give students a second chance to improve. Mr. Sparrow told Ms. Brizuela that the Board has every confidence in her decisions but if she ever feels there is a situation where the Board should be involved they would be happy to help. President Bradley told everyone that the only negatives he has heard from parents is that a very few students cause disruptions in the classroom and in some instances there is a failure to enforce the uniform policy. Ms. Brizuela answered that since the teachers last year were not used to uniforms they sometimes were not as observant as she is sure they will be this year since teacher awareness of this policy has been stressed. Mr. Petty told the Board that he feels the expulsion policy in the handbook is very weak. There was a lengthy discussion of this issue with the Board stating that they will back up any decision the CEO and the Head of School makes regarding any discipline issue. The Board told Ms. Brizuela if she would like to beef up this policy so everyone knows exactly what will and what will not be tolerated that would be fine but that she has the support of all of the Board in dealing with these problems. The Board asked if the parents and students were both required to sign that they understood and agreed with the policy http://www.westlake-tx.org/agendas/sbmws08O4O4.htm 8/24/2004 VI U1U acnooi -board meeting Page 2 of 3 outlined in the Handbook and were told yes. Ms. Brizuela said the Academy has everyone sign an anti bullying pledge and this has helped. Ms. Brizuela told the Board that the required IB application has been submitted and the consultation visit was requested for November of this year. All teachers spent a week in Austin for their PYP and MYP training this summer. The meeting was recessed at 10:05 a.m. and reconvened at 10:30 a.m. Ms. Brizuela continued by going through the faculty for the 2004-05 academic year. She answered a question by stating the Academy is paying teachers less than the surrounding school districts but in her opinion the best teachers are coming to the Academy because of (1) the testing policy, (2) class size and (3) teaching to the whole child which is the IB curriculum. The curriculum appeals to the teacher because it helps to build character in the student. She then told the Board about the new music programs that are being implemented this year. She told the Board about the difficulty of bringing in the international teachers this year. There was a short discussion regarding the special needs students, there are 12, and the programs in place to address these needs. President Bradley asked if there would be any reason to approach any of the surrounding school districts regarding any cooperative efforts in this area. Ms. Brizuela said she had had lunch with the people from Northwest ISD last year and will speak with them concerning this issue. There was a long discussion about the admission policy with the Board asking Mr. Petty to examine the possibilities for admission requirements and to explore a preschool and after school program. The meeting recessed for lunch at 12:10 p.m. Mr. Sparrow and Mr. Brown left during this recess. The meeting reconvened at 1:05 p.m. with Mr. Meyer outlining the athletic programs that will be available to the students this year. Mr. Petty spoke regarding the expense of building sports fields and was asked to explore the charges associated with leasing fields from other sources. Mr. Petty told the Board they should be prepared for increased pressure from parents regarding athletics. Ms. MacFarlane gave the current enrollment figures for each grade telling the Board that the third grade is already over the preferred number of students. There was a short discussion regarding class size and Mr. Petty then went through the expansion plans for the Academy outlining the increased need for classroom se pac until the Academy occupies the current facility and additional buildings are in place. He spoke about the need to begin planning for the new Town Hall and high school buildings. Mr. Petty then gave the Board the breakdown on the debt service payments with the various options for increases in the revenue. The Board recessed at 2:40 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 2:55 p.m. with a lengthy discussion of the alternatives relating to limiting enrollment and hiring a floating teacher for the third grade this year. The Board decided that there would be a workshop on the first day of school to determine the options after the exact enrollment numbers are known. There will be a workshop scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Monday, August 23rd. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the amount of money that comes from the state per the number of students enrolled in the Academy and how much of the current tax payments made by residents come to the Academy and how much stays with the school district. The issue of storage at the Academy was brought up with no solution being suggested. The workshop was adjourned at 4:35 p.m. Approved by the School Board on August 23, 2004.

Richard de Douvres, also known as Richard Samson or Richard of Dover, was a bishop of Bayeux at the beginning of the 12th century.

Family

Richard was the son of Samson of Worcester, Bishop of Worcester (1096-1112), and nephew of Thomas of Bayeux, Archbishop of York (1070-1100). He was also the uncle of Richard de Gloucester, his successor in the bishopric of Bayeux.

Biography

Richard was grand vicar of Odo of Bayeux (brother of William the Conqueror). Richard then succeeded Turold de Brémoy in the bishopric of Bayeux in 1107, appointed by King Henry I. He was consecrated Bishop of Bayeux in October 1119 during the Council of Reims by Pope Calixtus II. While he already signed charters as bishop, nothing explains the delay in his consecration.

He presided in 1128 over a provincial council attended by the Archbishop of Rouen and his suffragans the bishops of Lisieux, Avranches, Coutances and Sées, Geoffroy de Lèves, bishop of Chartres, Josselin de Vierzy, bishop of Soissons, as well as many abbots and King Henry I.

On 14 September 1130 he dedicated Hugh of Amiens as archbishop of Rouen.

He also attended the coronation of King Louis VII of France in Reims on 25 October 1131.

Richard gave the bishopric the barony of Dover, of which he was lord. He was also the founder of the Priory of Le Plessis-Grimoult.

He died in Easter week of 1133 and was buried in Bayeux Cathedral.

A Woman's Wit: Jane Austen's Life and Legacy
This exhibition showcases Jane Austen's (1775–1817) distinctive voice—its development, subjects, context, and physical forms—and explores why she and her writing continue to enthrall and inspire us nearly two hundred years after her death. Beginning with the earliest letter in the Morgan's collection, written in 1796 when Austen was twenty years old, and ending with a short film about her legacy, these works reveal her characteristically sharp observations and irrepressible wit. The manuscripts on view offer an intimate portrait of one of the greatest writers in the English language, while the prints and drawings provide a visual context for her work. Read more »
What can we learn from Austen's surviving manuscripts and letters? What, if any, are the connections between her life and times and her work? Why does her popularity endure? These questions shaped the exhibition, and we invite you to consider them.
The online exhibition includes:
The Divine Jane is a short documentary film specially commissioned for the exhibition and examines the influence of Austen's fiction—and her enduring fame—through interviews with leading writers, scholars, and actors.

La Facultad Nacional de Ingeniería (FNI) es una unidad académica dependiente de la Universidad Técnica de Oruro (UTO) universidad pública con sede en la ciudad de Oruro (Bolivia), con instalaciones en la Ciudadela Universitaria (Av. Cnel. Alejandro Dehene entre Av. Jaime Sainz y Calle C. Pinilla) y en la Calle Pagador entre San Felipe y Ballivián.

Historia
A fines del siglo XIX e inicios del siglo XX, en el ocaso de la minería de la plata y el comienzo del auge de la minería del estaño en la región de Oruro, era preocupación de los mineros de la zona contar con recursos humanos especializados en las labores mineras y el beneficio de los minerales, y en reiteradas ocasiones manifestaron su deseo de contar en la ciudad con un centro educativo que forme mano de obra calificada en estos rubros. En respuesta a estos pedidos, el Congreso Nacional de la República de Bolivia reunido en Oruro entre el 20 de octubre de 1899 al 25 de enero de 1900, conocida como la Convención Nacional de 1900, dispone la creación de un Colegio Nacional de Ingeniería Civil y de Minas en la ciudad.

El texto del Proyecto de Ley dice: "La Convención Nacional: Decreta: Art. 1. Créase el Colegio Nacional de Ingeniería Civil y de Minas en la ciudad de Oruro. Art. 2. En el Presupuesto Nacional se consignará la suma de Bs. 25.000 para la instalación y el mantenimiento anual del establecimiento. Art. 3. El Poder Ejecutivo reglamentará la presente ley. Comuníquese al poder ejecutivo para fines constitucionales. Sala de sesiones de la Convención Nacional, Oruro, enero 11 de 1900". El 15 de enero de 1900, el Presidente José Manuel Pando promulga la Ley, y además dispone la creación de la Oficina de Ensayos Metalúrgicos en la ciudad de Oruro.

Esta ley, por diferentes razones, no pudo ser cumplida, a pesar del deseo de la comunidad orureña de contar con esta institución de formación técnica. La Convención Nacional del 1900 forma parte de la historia de Oruro, debido a que fue la última vez que el Congreso de la República se reunió en la ciudad. La Universidad de San Agustín (actualmente Universidad Técnica de Oruro), por medio de su Rector Dr. Rodolfo Soria Galvarro toma a su cargo las gestiones ante el Gobierno Nacional para dar cumplimiento a dicha ley. A requerimiento del señor Rector, el Presidente Ismael Montes Gamboa emite el Decreto Supremo de 10 de marzo de 1905, que da nacimiento a la "Escuela Práctica de Minería" en las ciudades de Oruro y Potosí, siendo Ministro de Justicia e Instrucción Pública el Dr. Juan Misael Saracho. El Ministerio de Justicia e Instrucción Pública contrata al Ing. Augusto Umlauff, destacado profesional peruano con estudios en la Escuela de Ingeniería de Lima–Perú, como Director de la Escuela de Minería; en octubre del mismo año se publica en los medios de prensa de la época la Convocatoria a inscripciones de alumnos. En enero de 1906, se inauguran las labores académicas en presencia del Prefecto, el Rector de la Universidad y el Director de la Escuela, en aulas improvisadas ubicadas en la casa del señor Adolfo López, ubicada en la plaza "10 de Febrero" en la acera norte sobre la calle Adolfo Mier y Presidente Montes N°41.

Posteriormente, y gracias al empeño del Gobierno Nacional en consolidar el funcionamiento de la Escuela, se realiza el trámite legal para la cesión de los terrenos municipales ubicados en las calles Pagador, San Felipe y Ballivián. Un memorable 3 de julio de 1906, el Presidente de la República Gral. Ismael Montes Gamboa, es el encargado de colocar la piedra fundamental para comenzar la construcción del local de la Escuela, lo que hoy constituye el Edificio Histórico de la Facultad. Asigna además recursos económicos para asegurar la conclusión de la obra, que constaba de cuatro pabellones.

El Gobierno en los primeros meses del año 1910 contrata los servicios del Ing. Alejandro Tartakowsky -de nacionalidad rusa- como nuevo Director para la Escuela, que arriba a la ciudad en julio de ese año y asume sus funciones en el establecimiento. En 1912, por Resolución Suprema, se aprueba el cambio de nombre a "Escuela Nacional de Minería" y se elabora un nuevo plan de estudios. La Escuela cuenta con tres secciones: Técnicos de Minas, Agrimensores y Ensayadores. Su cuerpo docente contaba con el Ing. Alejandro Tartakowsky como Director, y los Ings. Felipe Marrou, Jorge Hoagen, Federico Kiessling y Diego M. Salas como profesores. A partir de 1913, se contratan dos nuevos docentes en Europa con destino a la sección de Técnicos de Minas, el primero en llegar fue el Dr. Román Koslowsky para regentar las asignaturas de Mineralogía, Topografía y Dibujo; quien posteriormente asume las funciones de Director en 1916. Bajo la dirección del Dr. Koslowsky, y a requerimiento del Ministerio de Instrucción Pública, desde junio de 1916, los profesores de la Escuela forman una comisión para estudiar la posibilidad de organizar un instituto para graduar ingenieros y dotar al país de profesionales técnicos calificados. El Dr. José Gutiérrez Guerra, Presidente Constitucional de la República, promulga la Ley de 20 de diciembre de 1917 donde se eleva el rango de la Escuela Nacional de Minería a "Escuela Nacional de Ingenieros" y en reunión del 5 de febrero de 1918, el Consejo de Profesores toma las medidas correspondientes para dicha transformación. A partir de este año, se inicia un proceso de consolidación de la institución, paulatinamente empiezan a llegar estudiantes de otras regiones del país para formarse como Ingenieros y la "Escuela Nacional de Ingenieros" se va enraizando en la sociedad orureña como una de las instituciones de mayor prestigio y más apreciadas por la ciudadanía.

Durante la Guerra del Chaco, la Escuela interrumpió sus labores académicas durante el lapso de 1933-1935, sus ambientes fueron empleados como hospital militar. Después de finalizada la guerra el año 1935, en mérito a los servicios prestados al país, la Escuela Nacional de Minas es elevada al rango de "Facultad de Minas y Petróleos", con el aditamento de la especialidad de petróleo. Sensiblemente esta nueva unidad académica con las especialidades de Minas y Petróleo, funciona solamente hasta el año 1938. En este año, mediante Resolución de Consejo Universitario se aprueba el nuevo pensum y el cambio a "Facultad Nacional de Ingeniería de Minas y Petróleos", sin embargo, la falta de presupuesto ocasionó serios conflictos y por la carencia de docentes para las asignaturas de petróleo, se decretó la desaparición de este pensum a corto plazo. A fines de 1940, se solicita un nuevo local para la instalación de maquinaria y mejoras en los laboratorios y gabinetes de la Facultad, iniciativa que queda postergada hasta después de tres décadas. Con la creación de la sección Ingeniería Civil, en marzo de 1941 mediante Resolución del Consejo Universitario la Facultad cambia a "Facultad Nacional de Ingeniería - F.N.I.", en el entendido que esta nueva nominación involucraría en si todas las ramas de ingeniería a crearse en el futuro conforme a las necesidades del País.

Those who braved the frosty cold and slippery paving stones of central Oxford in order to attend the second ever Oxford Climate Forum on Friday and Saturday of 3rd week, were welcomed by a host of speakers with a range of diverse ideas. Talks spanned the full gamut of issues: from macro-level discussions about where the responsibility falls for rectifying the mistakes of environmental neglect, on the one hand, to micro-level explanations of the role of specific technologies in beating global warming, on the other. Extolling the virtues of green technology, and lambasting the political world for its failure to appreciate the urgent need to sever dependence on non-renewable energy, was Jeremy Legget, whose speech marked the end of the two day forum.
Jeremy Leggett is the intelligent face of the green movement. He has written books on peak oil and the environment – 'Half gone: oil, gas hot air and the Global Energy Crisis' and 'The Carbon War: global warming and the end of the oil era' – and now heads the UK's biggest solar energy company, Solarcentury. He has also been chief campaigner for Greenpeace. But Leggett did not always fight as a representative for the environmental cause.
So Leggett advocates a wholesale move to renewable sources of energy because, as far as he is concerned, the cost of staying with traditional fossil fuels will be cataclysmic. Whether it's the effects of global warming or the economic calamity associated with peak oil, we need to move to renewables. And the timeframe is not a large one. "I think we've got a matter of years before we get to that inflection point," he warns.
Leggett focused in his talk on inflection points in renewable energies as they progress towards commercial viability. But now he tells me that "there are inflection points in the climate system too." To you and me that's 'irreversible climate change', beyond which we can't prevent the effects of global warming on the planet and on human life. It's for this reason that Leggett is so opposed to nuclear energy. Nuclear power takes ten years to go from the drawing board to the national grid, according to the nuclear industry itself. According to Leggett, we simply don't have this time. Renewables, contrary to popular belief, are ready to go straight away. "We could be one hundred percent by 2030", says Leggett.
His area of expertise – solar energy – is said to have reached its inflection point in 2004, and has been an increasingly viable option ever since. Although Leggett advocates a reliance on multiple forms of energy – and firmly believes that a mixed approach is the only sensible way to attack dependence on fossil fuels – he is keen to sing the praises of solar energy. His company, Solarcentury, has been responsible for some of the more eye-catching feats of solar panel engineering, such as the CIS tower in Manchester. Photovoltaics is now becoming an increasingly viable method of electricity production. It ticks all the boxes that any source of energy, renewable or not, must. For starters, homes fitted with solar panels can become not just carbon neutral, but actually providers of energy to the national grid. This excess of electricity created is something for which the homeowner is compensated – this has prompted residents of Solarcentury's solar powered chalets in France to refer to them as their pensions.
On top of this, solar energy is not constrained in its potential to provide significant amounts of electricity. In the fantastical scenario in which solar panels are fitted to every rooftop in rainy Britain, the subsequent amount of electricity generated would be sufficient for the country's needs.
While a move away from nuclear energy is welcome, provided the hole is plugged by renewable energy, does he think that this is the direction that the Japanese and Germans are going in? "If stupid decisions are made about tar sands and fracking, perhaps not." But he has faith that this is not going to happen. If his appraisal of the world's predicament with respect to both fuel and the climate is anything close to being correct, let's hope he's right.
Party Conference Season: A Disgrace to Democracy?


text:
April 3, 2020/Liliane Nahas
Everybody gets angry. It's a normal, biological protection mechanism that gets triggered when we believe we're being mistreated or that the world is operating against us. It is also an expression of fear and deep hurt.
Anger is a difficult emotion because its intensity can get expressed at top speeds in destructive ways: we yell, say mean things to people, we punch walls, slam doors, throw things across the room, etc. These forms of expression are scary, can damage important relationships, and are ultimately detrimental to our sense of wellbeing.
Anger can also cause us to retreat. Many people downplay their anger and internalize it because they are afraid it will hurt someone or something important to them. But internalizing anger can be just as destructive as expressing it intensely. We end up trapping the anger in our bodies and not protecting ourselves from the thing that hurt us in the first place.
Meet Sam
Sam is a thirty-seven-year-old man who walked into my office fuming. He had just found out his wife, whom he loved dearly, was having an affair, and he was profoundly disturbed by the news. "Who is she?" he asked himself repeatedly. "What is this marriage?" The world he knew was crumbling, and he felt profoundly angry.
During our sessions, he would list all the ways he had been a good husband, a good dad, and a good provider. As he did, I could feel the anger raging inside him. He would clench his fists and raise his voice. The injustice of it all made him furious, and his anger was an expression of all his confusion, pain, and disappointment. "It is not fair!" he would shout.
When he first heard the news, Sam's impulse was to insult his wife and treat her as a lesser person, someone who was deficient in honesty and authenticity. During the session, he would rattle off all the hurtful things he wanted to say to her and all the ways he wanted to retaliate against her and teach her a lesson.
He was outraged, but he was also scared. He worried that if his wife knew the extent of his intense anger, it would destroy her and ruin whatever was left of their relationship. To his credit, Sam was looking for a way to share his anger but not let it get too destructive.
I told Sam a parable I learned about The Snake and the Swami.
On the train to Vrindavan, a Swami sits beside a common man who asks him if he has attained self-mastery, as the name "Swami" implies.
"I have," says the Swami.
"And have you mastered anger?"
"You mean you can control your anger?"
"I can."
"And you do not feel anger?"
"I do not."
"Is this the truth, Swami?"
After a silence, the man asks again, "Do you really feel that you have controlled your anger?"
"I have, as I told you," the Swami answers.
"Then do you mean to say, you never feel anger, even–"
"You are going on and on–what do you want?" the Swami shouts. "Are you a fool? When I have told you–"
"O, Swami, this is anger. You have not mas–"
"Ah, but I have," the Swami interrupts. "Have you not heard about the abused snake? Let me tell you the story."
And so the Swami began:
"On a path that went by a village in Bengal, there lived a cobra who used to bite people on their way to worship at the temple there. As the incidents increased, everyone became fearful, and many refused to go to the temple. The Swami who was the master at the temple was aware of the problem and took it upon himself to put an end to it. Taking himself to where the snake dwelt, he used a mantra to call the snake to him and bring it into submission…The Swami then said to the snake that it was wrong to bite the people who walked along the path to worship and made him promise sincerely that he would never do it again. Soon it happened that the snake was seen by a passer-by upon the path, and it made no move to bite. Then it became known that the snake had somehow been made passive, and people grew unafraid. It was not long before the village boys were dragging the poor snake along behind them as they ran laughing here and there. When the temple Swami passed that way again, he called the snake to see if he had kept his promise…The snake humbly and miserably approached the Swami, who exclaimed, 'You are bleeding! Tell me how this has come to be.' The snake was near tears and blurted out that he had been abused ever since he made his promise to the Swami. 'I told you not to bite,' said the Swami, 'but I did not tell you not to hiss!'"
This story helped Sam distinguish between destructive and necessary responses to his anger. In the end, Sam was able to make a firm yet the wholehearted request of his wife to stop hurting him and to pay attention to how her choices caused him deep pain. This restored his pride without destroying the emotional bond that was left between them, which was important to Sam.
How Can You Take Control of Your Anger?
1. Notice what's happening physically.
Noticing our physical reactions to anger can slow down intense reactions and give us time to process our feelings.
Here's an experiment: Try to remember the last time you were angry. What was happening, and how did you feel in your body? Did you sweat? Did your muscles tighten or your fists clench? Were you filled with adrenaline?
The range of physical reactions to anger seems to vary based on its causes. You might clench your teeth when your computer is being too slow or get red in the face when a driver cuts you off on the road. Not surprisingly, our most intense physical feelings of anger occur when someone hurts us emotionally or treats us poorly.
But if we know that when our teeth start to clench, it means we are getting angry, we can mitigate an intense reaction. We can say to ourselves, "Oh, my teeth are clenched. That means I'm getting angry. I should find a way to back away from the thing that's making me angry and think about a way to solve it before it overwhelms me."
Even this small moment of mindfulness on your part will reap loads of benefits. The more you recognize what's happening in the body, the better you will begin to read your emotional triggers and start thinking constructively about how to change the situation.
2. Take constructive action.
As in the case of Sam, constructive action uses our anger to appropriately attend to a situation that is hurting us.
One form of constructive action is asserting our needs. Asserting our needs can be difficult because we fear we won't be taken seriously or that it'll make people stop loving us. But done well, asserting our needs can alleviate the behavior that is angering us and shows others that their actions are hurtful. Sam told his wife how he was feeling and what he needed from her, which was met with respect.
Try this: Imagine putting your anger into your backbone—that part of you that is sure of yourself, knows what it is you need and isn't afraid to say it. From your backbone, approach the issue with a clear head and a calm but firm tone. For example, say: "It's important to me that you share the chores with me," or "It's important to me that you don't tease me when I'm serious."
These types of assertions, which stay away from placing blame and correlate directly with our needs and not our anger, are usually well-received and respected.
Another way to take constructive action is by setting boundaries. Setting boundaries basically draws lines for people, so they don't cross over into territory that hurts us. You can say: "I don't want you criticizing me or calling me names. If I am doing something that is bothering you, let's talk about it, respectfully," or "I do not like it when you borrow my things without asking."
If you get pushback, just stay calm, firm, and repeat your statement until you are heard.
Constructive action can also take the form of no action at all, especially when there is nothing that can be done. Getting angry at bad drivers can be frustrating, but the only thing we can control in that situation is our reaction to it.
Take a few deep breaths and recognize that it's better to stay silent than to rage at the world outwardly.
Doing this is a form of self-compassion. You are acknowledging the useless toll anger has on you, and you are choosing not to engage in it, saving yourself and those around you a lot of tension.
In some cases, therapy can be an excellent form of constructive action, especially if our anger is inappropriate for the situation at hand. If someone makes an honest mistake and we yell at them for it, this can be a tip-off that old anger hanging around from childhood is to blame. Most likely, the old anger never got expressed and is trying to find its way out of your body, exploding in inappropriate ways.
If this is happening to you, it's best to address the anger together with a therapist who can help you attend to the old issues, feel the feelings in a safe environment, and move on.
The final say.
I hope this information helps you better handle your anger. Just remember, anger is a normal and an essential emotional response that keeps us protected from situations that work against us. How we process and constructively attend to that anger is what's important. Think of Sam, the Swami, and the snake the next time you feel your blood start to boil!

Apex Payroll's Time and Attendance dramatically improves productivity, accuracy and reliability of your payroll process. Our time and attendance free up management time and financial resources for better use in your business. Our Timekeeping is available in a variety of configurations that can be tailored to match the requirements of your business. When it is time to run payroll, employees' hours are automatically in the payroll system.
You no longer have to gather time sheets, compute the total hours and re-key into your payroll system. All that is done automatically and accurately. Our time and attendance system makes it virtually impossible to submit inaccurate time data, eliminating the temptation for employees to steal time.
Employees are issued time cards, which allows them to clock in and out through an electronic time clock or they can simply log in to our secure web clock with a user name and password to clock in and out.
This system gives employees a simple way to clock while providing you an accurate account of the time worked. It also allows you to view reports that can help you keep an eye on your staff's efficiency.
Substantially reduce the time spent preparing time sheets, audits and reports.
Minimize or eliminate costly human error in timesheet preparation.
Over 20 hours of productivity per year is lost by an employee who arrives late, extends a break or lunch and leaves early.
Time theft is all too common and can result in lost profits, not to mention overtime, taxes and benefits.
Apex Payroll's Time and Attendance solution provide managers and employees access to everything they need with role-based security to enhance productivity while ensuring security.
Apex's Company In/Out Board gives the managers a quick and user-friendly view of where employees are throughout the day. The board shows a color-coordinated graph for each employee displaying when they clock in/out and their every day breaks providing managers a convenient way to manage daily employee location and office activity.
Managers can monitor exactly where employees clock in and out through GPS Timekeeping giving them the accountability and flexibility for on-location jobs.
Apex Payroll's Scheduling solution allows companies to manage employee schedules instantly, accurately and from anywhere, giving them unparalleled scheduling flexibility and power. This simple and affordable solution allows schedules to be created, modified, and communicated in real-time, anytime providing managers and employees access to effectively communicate their scheduling needs and cutting down scheduling time by over 75 percent.
Keeping track of employee working hours is not an optional chore: The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and numerous other federal and state laws, require employers to keep records of hours worked, wages paid, and other conditions of employment.
Beyond the law, it is impossible to run a successful business without keeping track of employee working hours. The FLSA requires that time records show the date and time a worker's workweek starts, the number of hours worked each day, and the total hours worked during the week. For many business reasons, employers need to keep thorough, accurate records of all hours worked, including starting and quitting times for each employee.
Apex Payroll provides a one-stop-shop for time and attendance solutions from clocks to our proprietary management system. We offer seamless integration to out Timekeeping Dashboard providing real-time visibility so you can easily manage exceptions, enforce work and pay rules for ongoing compliance and cost control.

Q: Event.observe inefficient with prototype Javascript, alternatives? We have a table with a lot of checkboxes, onchange of a checkbox we want to call some Javascript.
We use something similar to this snippet:
addEventObserver(elementId){
        // ($= means 'ends with') this is required for elementIds which are in a table and get prepended with some id
        $$('[id$=:'+elementId+']').each(function(e) {
            Event.observe(e, 'change', function(event) {
                submitAction(something);
            });
        });
}

So below an input checkbox we add a Javascript function call:
<input type="checkbox" name="somename" id="somePrependedIdsomeId">
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
                    addEventObserver('someId');
                </script>

this works fine with our test environment settings. In production though we have tables with ~700 checkboxes and this makes the browser/cpu get stuck.
We use jsf

A: I would scrap adding an event listener to every single checkbox in favour of writing a single "smart" event handler attached to a container element. Here is a simple example:
var theDiv = document.getElementById("foo");
theDiv.onchange = function(e) {
    if (e.target.tagName.toLowerCase() == "input"
          && e.target.type.toLowerCase() == "checkbox") {
        alert("do something");
    }
}

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/xFC3A/
The onchange event is thus captured by the container div which is bubbles up to. The event attached to the div can test for the type of element that triggered the event (the source/target element depending on the browser) and react accordingly. Main advantages are:

*

*Only one event handler - no time wasted binding handlers to hundreds of elements.

*It will continue to work on  dynamically added elements (via AJAX, JS etc.).

Read more about Event Delegation.
Some useful reference: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_properties.html

A: I'm not much of a Prototype jockey (much more of a jQuery guy), but generally speaking, any selector using an attribute selector is going to be slow. If you're running that selector on 700+ items, you're going to hit a massive slowdown for sure.
You're also using Prototype's each() method... could you re-write things to use a native javascript for() loop instead? Again, referring to jQuery here, but I've gotten INCREDIBLE performance gains by using native JS rather than library methods whenever possible. I've sped a web app by 20x by removing a bunch of jQuery .each() methods and replacing them with native for() loops.

A: I think Event Delegation should help you, simple attach die EventHandler to the Parent of all Checkboxes
$('container').observe("change", changeBy);

function changeBy(e){
                if (e.element().identify() != "container") {
            doChange(e.element());
        }
}

function doChange(elem){
  submitAction(something);
}

Markup:
<div id="container"> <input type="checkbox" > ... </div>

You doesn't need to do the foreach and you doesn't have hundreds of eventhandler, you simple have one EventHandler, this is pretty fast.

A: Prototype already provides event delegation by way of Event.on:
$('id_of_table').on('change', 'input[type=checkbox]', some_handler_function);

Spain's controversial anti-evictions lobby, the PAH, has been awarded a key citizenship prize by the European Parliament.
The PAH received a European Citizens' prize for its work in "fighting for European values," Spanish media reported on Thursday.
The group, headed by Barcelona activist Ada Colau, defends people in Spain who are facing forced evictions from their homes because of an ability to meet their mortgage payments.
The candidature of the PAH was put forward by two Greens Eurodeputies in Raül Romeva and Ana Miranda and by the United Left (IU) Eurodeputy Willy Meyer.
The European Parliament said the PAH has been selected among 41 candidates from 21 European countries.
The jury for the prize was made up of the Vice Presidents of the European Union Anni Podimata and Othmar Karasel and by the Ex-presidents of the European Parliament Hans-Gert Pöttering and Enrique Barón Crespo.
Also on the jury was the President of the European Youth Forum Peter Matjasic.
According to the Parliament, the prize will be handed over in a ceremony in Brussels in October.
The awarding of the prize may surprise some in Spain as the tactics of the PAH have raised controversy in this country.
Most controversially, the PAH have made use of so-called "escraches". These escraches involve the direct targeting of politicians' homes and offices to put greater pressure on them to change policies.
"We don't like to carry out escraches but they've left us with no other choice," PAH lawyer Manuel San Pastor told The Local in April.
The PAH rose to prominence in January this year when Colau the head of the lobby condemned Spain's banking community in the country's Parliament.

Q: Making the contents in  element static position I have a table and my webpage as

         .....
         .....

the contents of the first  is changing dynamically. so the height of this  is also changing. this dynamic changing is affecting the second  as the position of the image is also changing.
How can i make the image in a static place in that  element.

A: you meant that the the picture's position always changes to center of the ??
then you can add valign="top" property to the td which contains your image
so, not caring how long your first  is the image will stay at top of the

A: You could use CSS:
#mytable{
  position:relative;
}
#myimage{
    position:absolute;
    top: ___;
    left: ___;
}

Replace ___ with the desired distance.
Edit:
But if what you want is a background, then you could better use:
HTML:

         .....
         .....

CSS:
#mytable{
    background: url('mylogo.jpg');
}

And if you want to adjust the position, see http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-position.asp

The whole world heard about the Christchurch earthquakes.
The first one came on September 4th, 2010, damaging many of the city's older buildings and leaving residents without power or clean water for days. There were no fatalities, however, (unless you count the one person that suffered a heart attack during the quake,) and it was with a sense of relief and optimism that the repairing and rebuilding began.
My parents visited Christchurch the following January, observing the fenced off areas with interest before moving on. There had been a few aftershocks in the intervening period, including a particularly strong one on Boxing Day, which had hampered the city's recovery by bringing down more buildings, but Mum and Dad were impressed with Christchurch's attitude.
Then came the February 2011 earthquake. Over half the buildings in the central business district were damaged beyond repair, thousands of people were left homeless and 185 people died.
Since then there have been numerous aftershocks – none fatal – and the rebuilding efforts continue to this day, though not at a pace people are happy with. Again and again plans are frustrated, but last month (July 2013) there came a happy breakthrough: Christchurch's iconic Cathedral Square was reopened to the public. The Chalice still stands; the cathedral doesn't.
Christchurch Cathedral's demise was a tragedy. The city's main attraction for over a hundred years, it survived the first quake with only superficial damage, but then the February 2011 earthquake collapsed its grand spire and further aftershocks wrecked its rose window. The decision was made to demolish the whole thing.
I have not been to Christchurch since the quakes: I have only my memories of how it used to be. It was nearly ten years ago when my family flew there from Auckland. I think the first thing we did after picking up our campervan was head to Cathedral Square.
I remember having a wonderful bagel at a café on the periphery and posing in front of the Chalice, which really is a beautiful sculpture. I'm glad it didn't get destroyed. I remember thinking that the cathedral itself was not that impressive, but only because I had been spoilt in my childhood by the cathedrals of Chester, Lincoln and York. It was still wonderful climbing up the steps of the tower.
I also remember an enchanting tram ride. A cathedral, a tram – it was like I was back in old England! Unfortunately, due to the quakes, the tram is no longer running.
We loved Christchurch. In fact, before the quakes, I would have said that it was the New Zealand city I would have most liked to live in, primarily because it was the most English-feeling of New Zealand's cities. I remember a little, stone pub with a garden and being taken down the River Avon in a punt – just like Cambridge! (That's the proper Cambridge in England, of course, not the place in New Zealand near Hamilton.)
Speaking of the River Avon, next to it are the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, which, thankfully, weathered the quakes relatively well. They were my family's favourite bit of Christchurch and, by all accounts, are still magnificent to walk around. Incidentally, they celebrated their 150th anniversary this year.
I want to go back to Christchurch one day, especially to the gardens, but also to retrace the steps of our South Island campervan holiday. From Christchurch, we drove up the peninsula to Akaroa, which I was possibly not old enough to appreciate and dearly want to see again.

Provide comfort for the family of Clifton Wyrosdick with a meaningful gesture of sympathy.
Clifton "Craig" Wyrosdick, 58, of Pace, Florida, crossed the finish line of his final race Wednesday, February 6, 2019. Instead of a medal, he received a crown. Craig fought the good fight, he finished the race and he always kept the faith.
Craig was born at McDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida to Jearl and Sandy Wyrosdick. He grew up in Pace where he attended Pace Elementary, Pace Middle School and Pace High School. He graduated Valedictorian from Pace High School in 1978 and went on to earn an Associates of Science degree from what was then, Pensacola Junior College, a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Florida State University and a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Florida. Craig completed his training with a Family Practice Residency in Tallahassee, Florida.
Just prior to starting medical school, Craig married his high school sweetheart, Sandra. Together they returned to Pace where Craig served the community he called home as a Family Practice Doctor. He loved helping people and practicing medicine gave him the perfect opportunity to do this. Craig was in private practice for ten years and then he went to work at the VA Clinic in Pensacola and worked serving our country's veterans for 9 years. He returned to private practice for a short time before receiving the diagnosis of dementia in 2015.
Craig's rigorous schedule did not allow him to formally volunteer with organizations, but he spoke to countless students at Career Days and to many other groups in the community when asked, went on many mission trips with his College Kids and was always willing to help wherever there was a need.
Craig loved medicine, but more than medicine, he loved his two boys, Parker and Taylor. Everything he did, he did with his family first and foremost in his mind. His boys were his heart and they cannot begin to imagine how much he loved them.
Craig was a Sunday School teacher for 14 years for college students in the community. He was an ordained Southern Baptist Deacon and he enjoyed singing in the choir.
Craig is survived by his adoring wife of 36 years, Sandra; his sons, Parker Wyrosdick of Austin, Texas, and Taylor Wyrosdick of Pensacola, Florida; his parents, Jearl and Sandy Wyrosdick of Pace, Florida; his brothers, Tim (Vanessa) Wyrosdick and Paul (Rhonda) Wyrosdick, both of Pace, Florida; and his brothers-in-law, Mark (Yvette) Cross of Pensacola, Florida and Tony (Tonya) Cross of Milton, Florida. Craig is also survived by uncles and aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews and many friends who will all miss him tremendously.
Everyone who knew Craig loved him, his humility and kindness were unmatched on this earth.
We love you and we will miss you forever, but we will see you again.
Visitation will be held beginning at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, February 10, 2019, at Wallace Baptist Church.
A Celebration of His Life will be held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, February 11, 2019, at Wallace Baptist Church.
Lewis Funeral Home in Pace has been entrusted with arrangements.
Floral arrangements may be delivered to Wallace Baptist Church beginning at 1:00 p.m., Sunday, February 8.
Consider providing a gift of comfort for the family of Clifton Wyrosdick by sending flowers.
We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Clifton here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. You can upload cherished photographs, or share your favorite stories, and can even comment on those shared by others.
You will be missed and forever loved. God speed!
So very sorry to hear of your great loss! He saw me through the worse loss in my life. I hope that all of the good that he brought to others helps you through your period of great pain.
Praying the Lord comforts you and gives you strength at this time of sorrow. May God bless you with comforting memories .
To Jearl, Sandy, and Family, I was very saddened to learn from Owen that your son Craig had passed away. There is no way for me to know the sorrow that you bear, but our Father God does know, and I pray that He will "keep you in the palm of His hand," and give you "peace that passes all understanding." My prayers for all of you will continue. Love, Judy, Granddaughter of the late Herschel V. Pope of Vidalia, Georgia..... brother of Arthur W. Pope.
It is with great sorrow that we see the passing of Craig to a better Life Everlasting. From our association with Craig, his Parents and Brothers from "little league days" to present, he always strove to succeed! To Sandra and Children, our special Prayers to you in your time of sorrow.

"HEY Celebrity � Over Here! What? NO?! UP YOURS!!!"
The appearance of celebrities in the limelight used to present itself as an innocent attachment to our daily lives. Look at the beautiful people attending the red carpet premieres or award shows. Aren�t they glamorous? And I�m thinking back to the time of newsreels when a booming voice would entice the Hollywood in all of us with quick snips of bright lights and elegance. Then came gossip rags and television, all parlaying to a modern disgrace with the likes of disgusting programming Celebrity Justice and E!�s Celebrities Uncensored. Oh how far we�ve fallen with the mighty. Or have we?
Based on the appropriately titled novel, �Vile Bodies� by Evelyn Waugh, Bright Young Things wastes no time in plunging us right into the profligacy of 1930s London. The rich huddle together at a party; dancing, drinking and snorting their path to an evening�s happiness. The radio warns of the brink of war, but nobody is paying attention.
Arriving fresh off the boat is Adam (Stephen Campbell Moore) who is looking forward to marrying socialite Nina Blount (the ravishing Emily Mortimer). Finally he may just have the money he needs to satisfy her place in the societal upper class. But customs snatches his titular manuscript, proclaiming it as filth and refuses to allow it into the country. Such moral platitude all while a �journalist� under the psedounym of �Mr. Chatterbox� roams about, reporting on the every move of the 24-hour party people.
Adam�s talent for falling into money is only matched by his ability to lose it just as quickly, resulting in a running joke of his wedding plans called off repeatedly for not having a dollar in his pocket. He manages to fall into a new job and quickly becomes addicted to the imaginative power one can wield when reporting on the fantasies that members of the press believe the lower rungs lust after.
Bright Young Things is at its best when capturing the party atmosphere of the time, its aloof morality and those who prey upon it for their own gain. Like a scene reminiscent of Paris Hilton�s Simple Life as partiers are invited back to the affluent home of hanger-ons only to have their parents subject to a rude awakening. Some in their own circle turn righteous and scold them from within, like Stockard Channing�s touring choir director who chastises party guests after accepting their invitation and dressing like the beautiful people. In an even more telling scene, the door is shut on one partygoer who then ignores his status as a privilege and uses his position to maliciously skewer everyone with the pretense of truth.
Supporting performances like Channing�s brief appearance add more color than the often splendid period details of the production design. Dan Aykroyd turns in a hysterical performance reminiscent of the great newspaper bosses of the screwball era. Jim Broadbent is always welcome as a drunken major whose true motives are constantly in question. And Peter O�Toole shows up for a single scene and brings the house down as Nina�s slightly mad father. Those praising his turn in Troy can see some real acting here.
By the final act, Bright Young Things has begun to lose its luster. It shifts focus back on the relationship of Adam and Nina, bringing us down to Earth again and reminding us that these are just ordinary people with the same emotional problems. One character�s admittance to a mental hospital after what seems like just another drunken lack of judgment and a pair of tragic deaths turn satire into gloom. Questionable behavior by our hero becomes downright misogynistic instead of fitting into the initial outrageousness of the stories.
Writer/director Stephen Fry missteps by asking us to finally care about these people who don�t deserve our tears. Then again, there may be a point found in the turn. So we choose not to care. Maybe then we do want the gossip and the petty vicarious living through lives we can both admire and loathe at the same time. Perhaps we haven�t fallen that far after all. Or maybe its actually further then we think.
